The Right Skills in the Right Order

Based on extensive research and refined through 13 years of classroom testing, the WEX Skill-Building Curriculum breaks down the complex challenge of teaching writing into a sequence of clearly defined skills.

These skills have been:

• selected to include only those proven to make the greatest impact on writing proficiency.
• sequenced to drive student development most rapidly.
• unified into a seamless curriculum that steadily builds skills from grades 3-12.
